Researchers have developed an energy-aware learning approach for adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat Parkinson's disease. This method directly incorporates actuator energy into the reinforcement learning reward, optimizing both stimulation energy and inference efficiency. A deep spiking Q-network trained on a circuit model demonstrated a 45.2% reduction in pathological oscillations while cutting stimulation charge by 80.0% compared to continuous DBS. The policy was compressed onto a SynSense XyloAudio 3 neuromorphic processor, achieving significantly lower energy consumption than conventional hardware. AI
